To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that-I, FREDERICK L. SonLEY, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, city and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Furniture for Forming Paper-Box Dies and for Use inType Compositions, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to improvements in furniture for forming paper box dies and for use in type compositions, and has for an object to provide such furniture by means of which the dies may be formed in a simple and accurate manner, and which will be of very strong, and at the same time, light construction, and to this end, I propose to provide a metallic furniture of substantially skeleton form. A further object of the invention is to provide a novel and effective releasing means for releasing the paper blank from the die, after it is cut and scored, and more particularly, I propose to provide tapered pockets in spaced relation in the furniture to receive corks, or other suitable yieldable plugs. I further propose to provide a furniture which is reversible, and so constructed at the ends as to be fitted with other furniture to form a sharp and welldefined right-angular corner.

A still further object is to provide such furniture, which, when arranged in a form may be tied with a binding cord in such manner that the cord will not project therefrom. It is also further proposed to provide furniture, which'may be used in type compositions to frame the type, or as a filler in type forms. To the end of enabling the tying of the furniture by means of a binding cord without projection of the cord, and also the reception of a binding cord about a type form, I propose to provide grooves in the furniture.

With these and other objects in view, an embodiment of my invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, and this embodiment will be hereinafter more fully described with reference thereto, and the invention will be finally pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan View showing the present embodiment of my improved furniture for cutting and scoring blanks for boxes, the furniture being shown set up in a form.

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View taken along the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of a type composition, showing the same framed with my improved furniture.

Fig. 4 is a side elevation of one piece of the improved furniture.

Fig. 5 is a top view thereof.

. Fig. 8 is a cross section taken along the line 8-8 of Fig. 4.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several figures of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, the furniture, according to the present embodiment of my invention, comprises a strip 10, preferably of metal, having parallel longitudinal upright faces, said strip being straight at one end, and provided at its other end with an angular recess 11. The strip intermediate its ends is of H shape in cross section, having longitudinal recesses extending from its upper and lower faces, and a central lateral web 12. At the ends of the strip and centrally thereof, there are provided tapered pockets 13 and 14, extending from each of the horizontal faces of the strip, the central web15 forming a bottom for the said pockets. The vertical faces of the strip, with the exception of the angular recess 11, are provided with a longitudinal groove or channel 16, substantially central thereof, and adapted to receive a binding string, either placed around the furniture, or around a type form or other structure, which is engaged by the strip, the strip in the latter case lying flat against the sides of'the type to prevent displacement thereof.

The pockets 1?) and 14 are adapted to re ceive tapered corks 17 or other suitable yieldable plugs, for the purpose of releasing the paper from the die after it is cut and scored, and with the corks for this purpose extending slightly above the cutting and scoring blades of the form, and being yieldable. The base 15 firmly supports the corks, while the tapering of the pockets enables the same to be firmly held, and at the same time readily removed when desired. The provision of the pockets at both sides of the furniture enables either side to be upper, most, this being important to permit reversal of the recessed ends, so that while the strips may be reversed and turned in any desired relation, they will all be of the same form. It will be understood, that the strips may be of any desired. length, depending upon the size of the work to be done. i

In use, the furniture forms the sides of rectangular portions of the die form, scoring or cutting rules or blades 18, as required, being placed and held between the furniture, as illustraed in Fig. l, the whole form being then keyed or otherwise locked in a frame 19, by means of wedges 20, and blocks 21, or other like devices. The form is placed in a press, and the sheet from which the blank is to be produced, is laid upon the upper face of the form, and by ope 'ation of the press, it is cut and scored. As soon as the blank is relieved from pressure, the releasing corks, which are under compression at that time expand, and force and hold the blank from engagement with the score rules or blades.

The form may be tied by means of a binding cord when it is desired to remove the die from the frame, and hold the parts making it up together, in which case the cord will lie in the recess 16, and will not project beyond the face of the strip, so that the same may be snugly fitted into a frame without removal of the string, or if it is to be stored, it may be placed in a galley, in which case the sides of the furniture will snugly engage the inner sides of the galley, and accidental disarrangement of the pieces will be prevented.

The furniture may also be used in type form composition as a frame about a form of type. It is usual to place a binding cord about a form of type, and when the furniture is engaged with the sides of the type, this cord will be pocketed in the groove 16, so that the sides of the type will fit tightly and snugly against the sides of the furniture, and will therefore be held against displace ment. In Fig. 8 l have shown this arrange ment, the cord 22 about the type 23 being pocketed in the nine recesses 16, while the cord 24: about the frame is pocketed in the outer recesses 16.

\Vith my improvements, a die form may be constructed with accuracy and facility, the strips of the desired length being selected and placed in position, the reversibility of the strips permitting their proper placement. corks may be placed in the sockets, as re- Vhen complete, the releasing (paired, without the necessity of hammering them in place, and with comparative case, due to the tapering of the pockets.

1 have illustrated and described a preferred and satisfactory embodiment of my invention, but it is obvious that changes may be made therein within the spirit and scope thereof, as defined in the appended claims.

I claim:

1. Bi furniture of the character described, comprising a strip having one end straight and its other end recessed on its inner face, and provided with pockets adapted to receive yieldahle releasing plugs, said pockets extending from each longitudinal face of said strip and provided with a bottom intermediate said faces.

2. A furniture of the character described, comprising a strip having one end straight and its other end recessed on its inner face, and provided with tapered pockets adapted to receive tapered yieldable releasing plugs, said pockets extending from each horizontal fare of said strip, and provided with a bottom intermediate said faces.

3. A furniture of the character described, comprising a strip having one end straight and its other end recessed on its inner face, and provided with pockets adapted to receive yieldahle releasing plugs, said pockets extending from each longitudinal face of said strip and provided with a bottom intermediate said faces, said strip having re- "osses in its upper and lower faces intermediate said pockets.

l. furniture of the character described, comprising a strip having one end straight and its other end recessed on its inner face, and provided with pockets adapted to receive yieldable releasing plugs, said pockets extending from each longitudinal face of said strip and provided with a bottom inermediate said fates, said strip having re in its upper and lower faces intermec said pockets, and having lateral central web forming a bottom for said recesses.

5. A ture of the character described, COillp'llSlDg a strip having one end straight end recessed on its inner face, and provid o along its longitudinal sides and ends with a groove adapted to receive a binding cord. I

in testimony that l claim the foregoing my invention, 1 have signed my name hereunder.
